Forward Guidance

The Company increased its annual 2021 guidance to reflect its improved outlook on leasing and credit reserves.

Positive Outlook

  • Net (loss) earnings per share attributable to Common Shareholders revised from $(0.12) to $0.04 to $(0.08) to $0.06
  • Depreciation of real estate and amortization of leasing costs (net of noncontrolling interests' share) revised from 1.22 to 1.26 to 1.22 to 1.26
  • Gain on disposition of properties (net of noncontrolling interests' share) revised from (0.05) to (0.07) to (0.05) to (0.07)
  • Noncontrolling interest in Operating Partnership revised from (0.07) to (0.09) to (0.07) to (0.09)
  • Funds from operations per share attributable to Common Shareholders and Common OP Unit holders revised from $0.98 to $1.14 to $1.02 to $1.16

Challenges Ahead

  • The revised guidance is based upon Acadia’s current view of existing market conditions and assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2021 and assumes no further government mandated shut-downs.
  • Given the ongoing uncertainties resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic, the 2021 guidance does not incorporate any assumptions involving adjustments to its straight-line rent reserves
  • The guidance does not include any predictions of the variability that inherently results from those tenants that are, or may be subsequently classified, on the cash basis of accounting.
  • The impact of such amounts could be material.
  • The Company will update its guidance throughout 2021, as appropriate to reflect such items.
